Two Of Novel York's Finest


would similar to convey 2 piddling gems from the New York Times to your attention.

Monday’s edition provides coverage of a novel mass criticising the patent organisation which has been published yesteryear an economic science professor as well as a professor of investment banking. What interests the IPKat is that the criticisms practise non stalk from the nature of patents per se. Instead they lay the blame at the feet of administrative reforms to the U.S.A. of America system, such every bit the introduction of the Federal Circuit for hearing patent cases as well as the fact that the USPTO has choke self-funding. These reforms select had unintended consequences. For example, at that spot is groovy fourth dimension pressure level on patent examiners, which agency that patents cannot hold upward examined properly. Also, patents are the dependent champaign of increasing amounts of litigation as well as it is the interests of the finite puddle of patent attorneys to brand certain that it keeps growing. Luckily though, the dynamic twain suggest a solution involving getting to a greater extent than data into the hands of patent examiners as well as scrapping juries who aren’t good equipped to bargain amongst complicated technical issues inward patent infringement actions.

Meanwhile, Tuesday’s edition reports on a pecker that is before the Senate which would innovate enhanced liability for the providers of P2P networks as well as anyone else who induces roughly other to infringe copyright protected work. The pecker has received a hostile answer from the consumer electricals industry, who expressed the fright that the makers of photocopiers as well as iPods could hold upward held liable nether the bill. RIAA yet has welcomed it. Mitch Glazier, senior vice president of RIAA has said (referring to the actions brought yesteryear RIAA against downloaders):
“We don't desire them having American kids doing the muddied operate for them.”
isn’t surprised that RIAA supports the pecker exactly suspects that RIAA’s newfound employment concern for the “kids” of America may hold upward a final result of the hostile press it got when bringing actions against private downloaders before this year. wonders whether this disceptation indicates that RIAA has had a alter of strategy regarding its approach to private downloaders.
